I ask because I often use this setting (all the time for previews, often for renders) in order to minimize the amount of idle proc time while the last couple buckets finish, but have been told lately that it's actually a time-waster since the renderer has to resample all the bucket edges. I'm not sure which helps/hurts more, although I guess maybe there'd be a way to figure out a rule of thumb based on bucket time vs. number of cores...
